Help! My Loved One Is in Prison

by Louis N. Jones

There are over 2 million American citizens incarcerated in this country. Many of those people have family members or other loved ones on the outside. All of them have been adversely affected by the incarcerated of the loved ones to various degrees And those loved ones can be a tremendous help and resource for the offender when he/she finally gets out of prison. But in many cases, the loved one on the outside has no clue what to do to help their incarcerated loved one. Programs seem to be scarce. Many people asked for help turn in the other direction. Oftentimes the person searching for help finds himself or herself just as lost as the person inside the walls. This manual addresses that experience. This publication is for anyone who is affected by the incarceration, either past or present, of a loved one and wants to do something to help.

About the author

Since he was a child, Washington, D.C. native Louis N Jones has enjoyed crafting interesting stories for others to read. His love of writing and his passion for creativity has led to many opportunities, including the reading of one of his short story creations, “The Silly Crayon” on national radio while he was still in third grade. As an adult, he has displayed his writing, information technology, and publishing talent at several publishing companies. Exercising his passion for helping others, he started and directed ConquestHouse, Inc., an organization that provided temporary housing, life skills, Bible studies and job training to persons recently released from prison. In 2008 Jones published his first novel entitled "Prodigal in the City." The novel has won rave reviews from readers for its strong plot and its message of faith, redemption, and hope. He followed up with a second novel, “The Colors Will Change,” about a Haitian immigrant who befriends a beleaguered politician to avoid a murder plot. Jones’ novels feature realistic plots and characters combined with a strong Christian message. He also publishes other Christian authors through his company, Dove Christian Publishers.

One of his favorite Scriptures is Romans 14:17, “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” As such, Jones has a passion to see people move beyond mere religion and “church as usual,” and into a vibrant relationship with Jesus where God rules and reigns in their hearts and lives.
